In Virginia’s 7th Congressional District — a seat that could prove vital in Republicans’ quest to regain control of the House of Representatives — Republican Derrick Anderson is locked in a dead heat with Democrat Eugene Vindman.
The district spans much of Northern Virginia outside of the Washington, DC beltway, and boasts a large military and veteran population, anchored by the famed Marine Corps Base Quantico — and both candidates are boosting their military bonafides to boost support among voters.
The Post asked Anderson, a former Green Beret, about the Biden administration’s tumultuous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which happened three years ago this week. Neither Biden nor Harris held public events on Monday, which marked the anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 U.S. service members.
